A GOOD LIFE

Daddy always told me
Money don't mean everything
Consider yourself a lucky man
You got a guitar and you still can sing
As usual my Daddy was right

I got two kids, two cats
A good dog and a lucky hat
An old house, a fast car
But I don't go very far
I got a beautiful life
and I'm leading a good life

Well I wake up in the morning at the crack of dawn
And hit the clock before it rings
I work hard all day but at quitting time
I forget about everything
I walk out those doors and back into the light

I got two kids, two cats
A good dog and a lucky hat
An old house, a fast car
But I don't go very far
I got a beautiful life
and I'm leading a good life

Just because they sign my check
That don't mean they own my soul
It took me a while to figure it out
But Daddy now I know
As usual my Daddy was right

I got two kids, two cats
A good dog and a lucky hat
An old house, a fast car
But I don't go very far
I got a beautiful life
and I'm leading a good life
